KELLY, 16 WAPT NEWS. THANKS. NEW TONIGHT--- STATE INVESTIGATORS ARE SEARCHING FOR THE PERSON ACCOUNTABLE FOR "KILLING" TWO HORSES ON A MADISON COUNTY FARM. 16 WAPT'S MEG PACE IS JUST BACK INTO OUR NEWSROOM WITH THIS STORY. MEG: THE HORSES WERE ORIGINALLY REPORTED STOLEN THIS MORNING WHEN THEIR OWNER DIDN'T FIND THEM IN THE PASTURE WHERE THEY WERE LEFT. HOURS LATER, A FARM EMPLOYEE MADE THE GRUESOME DISCOVERY. PAUSE -- "HE SAID, THEY'RE DEAD, THEY'RE DEAD." THE HORSES, A MOTHER AND HER YEARLING, WERE FOUND INSIDE THE FARM'S SUPPLY ROOM DEAD. A VET TOLD THE OWNERS THEY SUFFOCATED INSIDE THE SMALL ROOM OVERNIGHT. INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE SOMEONE LED THESE TWO HORSES FROM THE PASTURE AND SHUT THEM INSIDE THE SMALL, TACK ROOM. THERE WAS NO WAY THOSE HORSES COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THEIR ACCIDENTLY. AND THEY'RE BOTH DEAD, IT WAS THE MOMMY AND THE BABY WHOEVER DID THIS HAD TO KNOW IT WAS MY HEART. THE HORSES WERE GYPSY VANNERS. A VERY RARE AND VERY EXPENSIVE BREED OF HORSES. OWNER KAY VAN -- SAYS THE TWO HORSES TOGETHER WERE WORTH ABOUT 45- THOUSAND DOLLARS. TONIGHT, SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHO'S ACCOUNTABLE. VAN --- SAYS SHE PLANS TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY FOR A REWARD FOR AN ARREST. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CRIME CAN CALL CRIMESTOPPERS AT 601-355-TIPS. IF YOUR
